Origin
The Bromelia Red Family, also known as Bromeliaceae, is a diverse family of tropical plants. Originally from the rainforests of South and Central America, this fascinating family of plants has been distributed worldwide since the 19th century.

Characteristics
The Bromelia Red Family is notable for its spectacular leaf colours, ranging from bright green to deep red. It has a characteristic rosette growth pattern, where the leaves spiral upwards from a central point. The inflorescence is usually a striking spike or cluster of flowers that rises above the blanket of leaves. The blooming period varies by species, but usually falls in the summer.

Care
The Bromelia Red Family requires a warm and bright spot, but not in direct sunlight, which can lead to leaf discoloration. The plant prefers high humidity and the soil needs to be well-draining to prevent root rot. Watering should be moderate, with the water poured directly into the leaf rosette. It is important that no water remains in the pot as this could damage the roots. These plants are generally easy to care for and rarely require pruning.
